Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I spoke directly with the guy who runs the class and he said the only thing that is needed is a valid driver's license. Must be different from state to state.
Over the weekend, I got some new tires on the bike, fixed the rear brake (it wasn't working at all, just needed to flush and bleed the brake. The fluid in there was NASTY.) and put on new pads, and checked out the speedo issue and ending up finding out that it's the gear assemble box on the front wheel that's broken, so I ordered a new one. The front brakes are hanging up a bit, I'm pretty sure they just need to be bled really well like the rears (fingers crossed). After that, the only thing left to fix is the leaky valve cover gasket.
Oh yeah, I forgot to take pictures again

I didn't have to have a motorcycle permit when I took the MSF Basic course here. Of course, that was back in the late 90's. It may have changed since then, or perhaps state laws vary.
Yes, it's good that dbd6604 signed up. I had been riding for years when I took it, and still learned some things.

I rode dirt bikes a lot when I was younger, but I'm 28 now and it's been a while, so I figured why not take the MSF course? The insurance discount will be nice too.

I had my MSF class last weekend, and it was an absolute blast. As for the bike, I'm still waiting on the title to come through, but other than that the bike is coming along nicely. Resealed the valve cover (holy crap there was way too much silicone on there), and it no longer leaks. There is an oil leak coming from a bolt on the left/bottom side of the crankcase, which appears to be caused by a missing washer and/or lock washer, those washers should be here in a few days. Went to take the cover off the front brake master cylinder, and one of the screws refused to come out, so it will have to be drilled out. New screws, plate, and diaphragm for the master cylinder should also be here in a few days. Oh yeah, ended up buying some OEM mirrors so, you know, the bike is actually street legal. 
Can't wait to get this thing sorted out and get on the road. I'm getting antsy.
